It’s every beauty lover’s favorite time of year…the Sephora VIB Beauty Insider Event! To take advantage of the sale, you must be a Sephora Beauty Insider. If you’re a Rouge Member, good news; you can start filling your cart today, through 11/7! If you’re a VIB Member, your event runs 11/11 through 11/14.

My goal during the Sephora events is to stock up on basics, splurge on a few new products that have caught my eye and pick up a some holiday gifts.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Foundation Customizable Set ($69) in Hydrating or Smoothing Skin Equalizer. Includes a full size Ultra HD Foundation (review), choice of Primer and a travel size Artisan Brush 106S. This is an excellent value if you’re looking for a new foundation to try.

Did you know IT Cosmetics is now at Sephora? You can see some of my favorites here, and they’re adding to the assortment every day. Great time to pick up the Brow Power Universal Brow Pencil. This brow pencil blends well and looks really natural.

I still love my BECCA X Jaclyn Hill palette (no longer available), which has two blushes in it–and they’re gorgeous. The new BECCA Blushed With Light Palette is a trio of blushes that are super blendable, with excellent pigmentation and color payoff. Highly recommend!

If you need skincare, I’m obsessed with Herbivore Botanicals, and there is nothing I’ve tried that I haven’t loved. My latest is the Moon Fruit Superfruit Night Treatment, which resurfaces and hydrates skin with a combination of fruit acids and antioxidants. Good for all skin types, it makes your skin glow!

Philosophy is one of my favorite beauty brands, and for holidays, they are always where I turn first for great gifts. One of my top picks is the Gingerbread House Set. This set includes four Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Baths and four Lip Shines. You can break up the set, pair a Lip Shine with a Shower Gel and get very inexpensive gifts!

I love Deborah Lippman nail polishes; they’re excellent quality, good formula, chip-resistant and long-wearing. The Ice Queen Set includes Lady is a Tramp (red cream) and The Golden Rule (gold shimmer). This is a nice set to pick up for holiday nails.
